Press Release
"BOMDx" the first BOM diagnostic service in the industry that is fully compatible with the AI era.
Challenges in BOM management
A BOM (Bill of Materials) is a dataset that consolidates essential information about products and materials and is utilized across various operations, marketing, design, manufacturing and after-sales services. In the past, BOMs were primarily used in highly repetitive production processes. However, with the growing interest in utilizing AI and advancing digital transformation (DX), efforts to develop and manage BOMs are also being adopted for highly customized products as well.
BOM management is a highly challenging task that requires not only specialized knowledge and experience in manufacturing but also advanced IT and management skills. The following are a few typical difficulties in BOM management:
- No centralized item codes.
- Required BOMs are not registered.
- Duplicate or unnecessary BOMs.
- Unable to effectively handle revisions and variations.
- Differences in BOMs between locations or departments.
- Unable to estimate the costs and delivery schedules for highly customized products.
- Data management that is appropriate for DX and AI use is not in place.
It is essential to overcome these challenges to achieve effective BOM management.
About BOMDx
A team of manufacturing, IT, and operations specialists use our proprietary BOM diagnosis tools and artificial intelligence (AI) in the BOMDx to examine the problems and difficulties you are currently facing with your BOM management. On the basis of this analysis, we suggest practical strategies for resolving issues.
Features of BOMDx
Proposing BOM building methods leveraging generative AI and digital transformation (DX).
Building BOMs with the right techniques is crucial to advancing the use of generative AI and digital transformation (DX). Even if your company lacks AI or IT experts, our expert consultants can analyze your current BOM and offer workable strategies for utilizing generative AI and achieving DX.
Sharing diagnosis results in as little as one day.
All plans come with a Quick Diagnosis that compiles the items required for BOM analysis into a hearing sheet, which our expert team then reviews and analyzes. We identify issues and challenges in BOM management and provide a thorough analysis report within 1 to 4 business days from the hearing.
Identifying BOM data challenges using a proprietary AI agent.
We examine your company's BOM using our in-house AI agent to find quality problems in areas like the data model, item numbers, and attribute information. This analysis identifies necessary improvements, unresolved challenges, and potential risks in order to facilitate BOM building/rebuilding.
Service contents
Quick Diagnosis
We use a questionnaire to assess the present BOM management capabilities. A collaborative analysis and assessment is carried out by a team of specialists from different fields, who then produce a thorough report complete with remarks and insights.
We visualize the strengths and weaknesses of the current BOM management, helping to identify areas that need improvement and to formulate concrete strategies for the next steps.
BOM Diagnosis
We perform a thorough Diagnosis of the current BOM quality and management issues based on appropriate BOM management practices and antipatterns. The analysis utilizes actual data and insights from stakeholder interviews across multiple departments. After that, a comprehensive report with practical feedback is provided.
We identify key areas for improving BOM quality and management, enabling the early identification of issues, including potential risks, and supporting the development of effective solutions.
BOM Management Workshop
Participants will learn the key aspects of BOM design and management through practical workshops using actual BOMs. The workshops also cover the relationship between BOM management, AI utilization, and digital transformation (DX), preparing participants for the adoption of advanced technologies.
Participants will acquire practical BOM-related skills directly applicable to their work, enabling the establishment of BOM management techniques suited to their company's particular requirements. The program also facilitates communication among teams and stakeholders, providing a strong basis for the successful start of future projects.
BOM Operation/System Analysis
To find problems with your BOM management and set up improvement paths in line with your company's goals, we will carefully review all of your current BOM-related operations, systems, and data.
This method makes it possible to comprehend your current situation clearly from the viewpoints of data, systems, and operations. You can advance efforts to increase operational efficiency, improve decision-making abilities, and accelerate the integration of AI and digital transformation (DX) by developing business processes that are in line with your company's goals.
BOM Rebuild Strategy Proposal
We organize current BOM-related operations and software, and formulate strategies for BOM building/rebuilding while considering your company's particulars. Based on the developed strategy, we create RFPs (Request for Proposals), roadmaps, and project plans.
We facilitate the creation of organizational frameworks, targeted proposals, and detailed plans required to advance strategic BOM building/rebuilding aligned with your company’s growth and transformation goals.
